The word "Minson" is spelled as /ˈmɪnsən/. It is a surname of English origin, derived from the Old English word "mynster" which means a large church or monastery. The spelling in question features the letter "s" after the letter "n" which is known as a "double-consonant" in English. Double consonants indicate a short vowel sound and emphasize the preceding consonant. Therefore, the pronunciation of "Minson" should have a short "i" sound followed by an emphasized "n" sound.
